Whats the best water temperature for this plant?

The tank should have good water quality with pH of 6.0-7.0, hardness of 3-8 dGH and temperature of 63-82 F. This miniature version of the well-known Alternanthera is characterized by compact growth and a slower growth rate. It is particularly suitable for small aquariums or as a foreground plant in larger aquascapes. By careful trimming can you create a dense, red-violet carpet approximately 5 to 10 cm high. High light intensity and addition of CO2 improves the plants growth and overall apperance.

can you tie this to driftwood?

No, this stem plant need soil. To driftwood you can tie plants like Anubias, Java Fern, Bolbitis

Are you asking if it grows in brackish water? I don't know. However, mine grew like Kudzo Weed in my fresh water aquarium. Many of its cuttings are now in other tanks...still growing well. I am a believer in frequent water changes, adequate CO2 and "hands out of the tank" at all times.
